We've been protecting vision in Ripon for the past 80 years - let us care for yours.

There may be a bewildering selection of opticians on the high street, so we would like to explain why we think our practice is best for you and your family.

At Peacock & Row you will be treated as an individual, in a caring, friendly, professional and unhurried manner. Our practice continues to grow through recommendations from our patients ensuring that our focus is on you and your satisfaction is our aim.

We are an independent practice - family owned and run, with no remote head office and no high pressure sales (in fact a bit old fashioned in that respect). We stock a fantastic range of frames and lenses from high value smaller names to the latest designer brands.

The team at Peacock & Row

Sarah Peacock (BSc MCOptom) - Optometrist & Contact Lens Practitioner

Julie Angel (BSc MCOptom) - Optometrist

Eye examinations

The latest retinal imaging technology allows us to take pictures of the back of your eyes. That's really important because it means we can pick up early signs of conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, hypertension and age related macular degeneration.

Undergoing this quick painless procedure can help us save you a lot of problems and even loss of sight in later life.
